Featured Reviews

Yevhen Yukhno - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
BPM workflows have accelerated decisions but complex projects still need better support and pricing
The biggest benefit of using Creatio for my company is the very fast start, but it is a solution aimed at middle and big companies since the minimal price for a license is $10,000 plus some costs for integration. It is not a budget solution for many companies, but it is very powerful and a very fast tracking solution. It is a SaaS solution, and all negatives apply to all SaaS products. It is a problem for clients because if I want to organize a big project, I have some problems with the Creatio environment for testing and development, leading to expensive DevOps operations to synchronize many environments. It is not very well, but I do not know how it can improve.

Senior Manager / IT Planning & Architecture Services at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Easily customizable, automation enhances the marketing campaigns but support is the main hiccup for us
It has been effective in managing customer relationships. It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory. And there are centralized reports for the CEO and the general managers. We work with automation for these marketing and email campaigns. It sends out emails to prospective customers related to sales offers automatically. And it copies the sales team so that they can follow up. They are tracking the sales leads. So, the automation within SugarCRM enhances the marketing campaigns. For now, my work is done because I am the IT strategy and planning manager. I just try to deliver the solution according to the requirements of the business. From my side, it's implemented already, the requirement related to the sales funnel. But if they have any other requirement from the business side, they will submit it to me, and then I will look for a suitable solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Its configurability in terms of being able to change screens and fields and create workflows that are compatible with our business objectives is most valuable."
"Creatio is reliable, fast, and fits our goals."
"With Sales Creatio, utilization was improved by 80%, the database is clean and alive with usage every day, and my team loves this solution, both mobile and Windows."
"Very helpful, very professional, I like their technical support."
"Its configurability in terms of being able to change screens and fields and create workflows that are compatible with our business objectives is most valuable."
"The main valuable feature is the flexibility and the customization of the platform, as there's not a single CRM out there, at least that I've used, that is quite as flexible as Creatio CRM, especially Creatio sales, and on top of the features, it's also the pricing because, if you look at some of the other companies even bigger than Creatio, they're charging at least 10 times what Creatio is charging."
"Some of the best features of Sales Creatio are end-user ease of use, user interface, and speed of data entry, and the abundance of features at a very low cost is also notable."
"It provides a customizable platform that enables companies to safely store and recognize customer data, as well as connect multiple channels and other related services."
"My advice to others is this is a good solution for importing or exporting any graphics."
"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"This solution's stability is very good, it runs almost without effort, and we don't have any support issues with it."
"Good, basic out-of-the-box solution, however, in my estimation not a long term play as the design flow and user interface make it a true chore to enter data."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
 

Cons

"Sales Creatio should include better customizations."
"The biggest area of improvement for me is the mobile app. Creatio has moved towards this composable architecture and user interface, and it looks good and works well on a laptop or tablet. But the mobile app could be improved."
"It is a problem for clients because if I want to organize a big project, I have some problems with the Creatio environment for testing and development, leading to expensive DevOps operations to synchronize many environments."
"Creatio's mobile app could be more intuitive."
"To benefit from this software you need to have somebody dedicated to customizing the features you're looking for and, to be honest, I do not have time to focus only on that."
"Again, honestly, I'm not benefiting from the product the way I should because I don't have a dedicated person to work on it and customize it."
"The mobile application gave us many issues as it appeared poorly developed. The client was not satisfied with the mobile application and raised concerns about it."
"My main pet peeve with this product is marketing."
"In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"Putting so many things into SugarCRM became a much-hated task, mainly because of the horrible UI."
"Functionality and features are well suited for small business companies only."
"Pipelines, forecasts, and reporting in general, are not that good in the free version."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sales Creatio's enterprise version is $60 per user per month. Other leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for sales automation, such as SAP, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle, are about $150 to $200 a month, and Creatio is $60."
"Pricing for this solution is more affordable than Salesforce, and the costs are upfront."
"Creatio's most basic plan, which has Growth, Enterprise, and Ultimate, I use the Enterprise version. It's a fully-featured CRM that includes sales, marketing, and service, along with the studio product."
"Compared to Salesforce and other applications, Sales Creatio is a cost-effective solution."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
